Intro:
F Dm, Gm C7
Verse 1:
F
They say that Heaven is;
Dm
10 zillion light years away,
Gm
And just the pure at heart,
C7
Will walk her, righteous streets, someday.
F
They say that Heaven is;
Dm
10 zillion light years away,
A#dim
But if there is a God;
A#7 Am
We need Him now; "where is your God?"
A#7 C#+ Dm7
That's what my friends ask me.
G7 Gm
And I say it's taken him so long,
A#/C F
'Cos we've got so far to come. Tell me people;
Verse 2:
F
Why can't they say that hate is;
Dm
10 zillion light years away?
Gm
Why can't the light of good,
C7
Shine God's love in every soul?
F
Why must my colour black;
Dm
Make me a lesser man?
A#dim
I thought this world was made,
A#7 Am
For every man, he loves us all;
A#7 Dm C#+ Dm7
That's what my God tells me.
G7 Gm
And I say it's taken him so long,
A#/C F
'Cos we've got so far to come.
Chorus 1:
F
But in my heart I can feel it,

Feel his spirit, woah oh, woah oh,
F Dm
Feel it, yeah, feel his spirit.

To save our evil souls;
